Betty J. Sher

On July 23, 1955, when Betty was 23 years old, she married Marshall Sher, whom she met when they both worked for Bell & Howell. In 1970, they moved from Wheeling to Onamia, Minn., with their sons, Craig and Rick. Together they built a home and a business, Timber Trails Riding Stable. Shortly after the death of Marshall in 2002, she sold Timber Trails and moved in with her son Rick in Coon Rapids.

Betty was many things to many people – a wife, a mom, a grandma, a foster parent, and a ranch camp operator. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her.

She was preceded in death by her husband of 47 years, Marsh; her beloved son, Craig; her parents; and her brother, Dick Wilson.

Visitation will be from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m., followed by the funeral at 11:30 a.m., today at Gearhart Funeral Home, 11275 Foley Blvd. NW, Coon Rapids. Interment with committal prayers will be at Morningside Memorial Gardens in Coon Rapids.
